Previous to this studio piece I spent the day at Indian beach doing a Plein air composition and color study. The misty atmosphere from the breakers hitting the rocks and the sunlight filtering through the marine layer was truly inspiring. I was able to take that palatial feeling back into the studio and really insert myself emotionally into this piece.

The little Origami boats are on a journey towards the horizon, with an unknown destiny. The setting sun began to color the sky as rays of sunshine burst through the clouds, turning the water molten.
Painted from studies down at MacKerricher State Park in Fort Bragg, I wanted to play with the color and bring up the golden light shining through the trees. It signifies a renewal of day.

Los Angeles River Painting 59: The Reed Wren
Oil on gallery wrapped canvas, 18" x 24", $1950
Before the Los Angeles River was channelized, the Reed Wren nested by the thousands in vast marshlands along the Los Angeles River. With efforts to revitalize the river comes the challenge of merging the hope for environmental sustainability, and habitat restoration with the needs for socially equitable development.
In this painting, a Reed Wren feeds her young in the Dominguez Strip Wetlands; part of the current Los Angeles River system, giving new life to her next generation along a river that many hope will experience a new life and rebirth of its own.
This is a scene high in the Eastern Sierra depicting the beautiful colors of fall on the Aspen trees as they reflect into the cascading waters of Bishop Creek.
